About 2 Farwell Street
Rich history, 105-year Bemis Carpenter craftsmanship, original hardwoods, and a full basement — 2 Farwell Street is a piece of living history! Held by the same family for 55 years and having only three owners in its 105-year history, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sits on a premier lot in Bemis's historic "Silver Circle" neighborhood—a planned community designed by MIT architects who later led the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg. Stepping onto the inviting front porch, you are welcomed into a spacious living room featuring original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and double-pane windows. The historic layout flows seamlessly into an enclosed, sunlit front porch/sunroom with beadboard ceilings, a formal dining room with chair rail molding, and a kitchen featuring an original glass-front cabinet hand-built by Bemis carpenters. The main level offers three oversized bedrooms with original trim and hardwoods—including original hardwood preserved underneath the carpet in the third bedroom. Two full bathrooms serve the home, including a mid-century updated master bath and a guest bath featuring a classic clawfoot soaking tub, white beadboard wainscoting, and a safety handrail. The home's history even includes an official historic marker honoring a former owner, Dr. Kelly Smythe, a beloved local physician who treated patients in the front room for decades. Downstairs, the full walk-out basement showcases the rock-solid durability of 1920s Bemis construction with concrete floors, brick piers, built-in storage shelving, and workshop space. The basement is well-maintained with a moisture barrier (installed by Terminix in 2020) and an active dehumidifier. Outside, you'll find a large open yard, a shared driveway, and a dedicated 1-car garage bay within a shared-wall detached garage. Full of incredible provenance, structural integrity, and timeless character, this historic Bemis home is ready for its next chapter! Home is being sold as-is.
